Chen Cha, who was suspicious, asked Ning Zhuo a few questions without leaving any trace.
The question involves many aspects and cannot be answered unless you are the real producer.
This certainly does not pose a problem for Ning Zhuo.
After some discussion, Chen Cha dispelled his doubts and was shocked: "Did he really design and make this?"
"Isn't he a descendant of the Ning family? The Ning family is good at talismans. When did they become so good at mechanical arts? They actually cultivated such an outstanding young cultivator?"
"If things continue like this, this child will become something great in the future!"
Chen Cha was completely impressed by Ning Zhuo and was extremely interested in him. He couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Ning Zhuo said, "Because of this year's exam, I have left the school. Senior, you have a keen eye. I really like mechanical engineering and have always been interested in it. On weekdays, I will try my best to collect some books and study privately. It has nothing to do with the Ning Family School."
Chen Cha stroked his beard and asked deliberately, "Among the hundred arts of cultivation, the top four are alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and formation. Mechanical arts is at the bottom of the list, a side subject among the side subjects. Why do you like this one so much?"
Ning Zhuo's heart suddenly moved, and he realized that this communication had reached the most critical moment! He had already planned to contact Chen Cha this time. Bringing out the mechanical monkey was part of his plan.
The young man pondered for a moment, his face turned serious, and he said solemnly: "I believe that the so-called cultivation is to practice the truth between heaven and earth. The hundred arts of cultivation are the application of these truths, and are essentially just tools."
"Dan is a tool, magic tools, flying swords are also tools, talismans, formations are also tools."
“Using these tools can make our practice more convenient and increase the success rate of various actions.”
"And the ultimate tool is nothing but mechanical engineering!"
"The new materials on a mechanism are made using alchemy. The structure of the mechanism is shaped using the technique of refining equipment. The magic arrays and talismans on the mechanism all involve the skills of array deployment and talisman making."
"An excellent mechanical creation is an ingenious combination of cultivation techniques."
At this point, Ning Zhuo paused and said, "As for why mechanical arts are ranked at the bottom of the hundred arts and are considered a side art, it is because it is difficult to learn and master, and has the highest threshold!"
"On the one hand, constructing mechanical objects requires cultivators to master a variety of cultivation skills. Alchemy, refining, talisman making, and array setting are all basics. After mastering them, one must select and combine from countless materials and techniques."
"On the other hand, designing mechanical devices is more difficult. It tests the monk's thinking, talent, inspiration and imagination. A good design may take a monk more than ten years to complete. In this process, they often get stuck at one point and make no progress for many years."
“Only with excellent design can we create excellent mechanical devices.”
After hearing what Ning Zhuo said, Chen Cha leaned back slightly, his eyes shining, and looked up and down at the young man in front of him. He couldn't help but high-five: "Well said, well said!"
His attitude towards Ning Zhuo changed again.
From the previous appreciation and interest, it turned into a sense of intimacy with people of the same interests!
The communication between people is wonderful. Some people get along with each other day and night, but they are the most familiar strangers. Some people can resonate with each other and share the same ideas even though they are just communicating for the first time.
Chen Cha and Ning Zhuo got along better and better as they talked, and naturally changed the way they addressed each other.
Chen Cha affectionately called Ning Zhuo "Xiao Zhuo", and Ning Zhuo changed his name to "Mr. Chen".
In response to Ning Zhuo's question, Chen Cha pondered for a moment and directly gave three solutions.
Under normal circumstances, he would at most offer a solution to his doubts. But facing Ning Zhuo, he did not hold back at all.
After listening to these three plans, Ning Zhuo immediately had countless questions and asked them one by one.
Chen Cha answered all the questions, and his attitude was very enthusiastic, and he had long forgotten about the charges.
Ning Zhuo continued to put forward suggestions and modify the three plans.
Chen Cha couldn't help but immerse himself in the process of discussing with his fellow practitioners and felt very happy.
During the discussion between the two, the plan was quickly improved and optimized, and it was finally decided to add blood to Infernape and arrange dynamic array bases in the blood to stabilize the body. At the same time, the evaporation of blood would dissipate heat, which could greatly relieve the heat that Infernape was subjected to.
Chen Cha judged: "Based on my many years of experience, once the Fire Monkey is released, it will definitely be a big hit."
"Xiaozhu, why don't you give Infernape to my Frisbee Workshop to make it?"
"How can you personally produce a large number of Infernape? You have to entrust a workshop to manufacture them in large quantities."
"My Frisbee Workshop has enough monks and equipment to meet your manufacturing needs."
"At the same time, I have been operating in Huoshixian City for decades. I have sufficient sales channels and some background in the City Lord's Mansion."
"On the one hand, I can rely on my connections to get a certain degree of tax relief, allowing you to earn more."
"On the other hand, this is also a form of protection. Once the Mechanical Fire Monkey comes out, it will seriously harm the interests of the Monkey Head Gang."
"This gang raises a group of spirit pet monkeys. Their biggest business is to command the monkeys to pick explosive persimmons."
“This needs to be prevented in advance.”
Ning Zhuo blinked and pretended to hesitate: "This..."
Chen Cha smiled and said sincerely, "Xiao Zhuo, I'm telling you the truth."
“This is also extremely beneficial to me.”
"In the future, the better the sales of Infernape are, the more famous my Frisbee Workshop will be, and the easier it will be to do business."
"So, I will only take 30% of the profits from the Infernape. I will cover all the production costs!"
Ning Zhuo scratched his head: "Mr. Chen, I can feel your sincerity, but..."
Chen Cha stroked his beard, "It's okay. Such a big thing needs to be carefully considered. Perhaps, Xiaozhuo, you should ask your family. However, although the Ning family is a big family of cultivation, they don't have much strength in the machinery industry. It's not good to rely on the family to do this business. In fact, they may also entrust the machinery workshop to do it."
"I'm telling you the truth, you can go and find out!"
Ning Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, my parents died when I was young, and I lived with my great uncle and aunt. Now that I have graduated from school, I have completely left and live on my own."
"I can make the decision on these things myself. I have never thought of handing over this explosive monkey to the Ning family."
"I just have a small request."
Chen Cha: "Oh? But you can say it."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Ning Zhuo: "I want to join your workshop and participate in the various tasks of the machinery workshop to help me gain experience. I also want to ask you, Mr. Chen, for more advice. I have too many questions accumulated. As for the consulting fee, I will deduct it from the income of my Infernape. How about that?"
Chen Cha laughed loudly: "Xiao Zhuo, it is a blessing for the Frisbee Workshop that you can come here. I welcome you very much!"
"Given your talent, you can just become the deputy abbot."
Ning Zhuo waved his hands quickly: "That won't do! I am not very knowledgeable and I need to learn and seek advice. I am just an ordinary young man from the Ning family. With my ability, how can I be the deputy master?"
"Ordinary? You are too modest!" Chen Cha shook his head and sighed, mistaking it for the Ning family's noble family tradition.
This was Ning Zhuo's true inner thought! He did not think Chen Cha's previous criticism was wrong.
"The reason why Mr. Chen admires me so much and treats me so well is probably because of the consulting business and the profits of the agency."
"I have only made some small achievements in mechanical engineering. In the mechanical secret records that my mother left for me, there are many mechanisms that I cannot fully understand."
"Take the design of the mechanical monkey for example. It took me several years and I encountered many setbacks along the way. This time, I had to ask Mr. Chen for advice to solve the difficulties."
"I still need to make more and greater progress in mechanical engineering."
Little do people know that Chen Cha’s evaluation has never been exaggerated in the slightest, but is completely based on reality and rich life experience.
Ning Zhuo didn't know that these were Chen Cha's true words.
On the one hand, Ning Zhuo has always been hiding his incompetence. He has never had any exchanges with like-minded people like today, and he is not clear about his exact positioning.
On the other hand, Ning Zhuo followed his mother's dying wishes and was always cautious and careful. In order to hide his incompetence, he was always building up his mental strength.
Even if he has achieved some success, he will find ways to criticize himself from all aspects, find out various shortcomings, and make sure not to fall into pride and complacency.
For fourteen years, he kept telling himself: I am ordinary and mediocre. Even if I have achieved what I have, others can do it. I still need to work hard and must not slack off...
Over time, countless persuasions have made him develop a very humble character. He cannot see his own excellence and believes from the bottom of his heart that there is nothing great about him and that there are still many areas where he needs to work hard.
Chen Cha had been in trouble for many years, and he had longed for a mechanical creation like the Fire Monkey. After reaching an agreement with Ning Zhuo on cooperation, he used all the power of the workshop to produce more than 20 mechanical monkeys that day, and sent them to the market to start selling them.
That night, Ning Zhuo put the Fire Monkey that had been arranged into the formation into the furnace and conducted another baking test.
"There is a high probability that it will be successful this time." Ning Zhuo is quite confident about this.
His eyes were dim: "Chen Cha..."
Ning Zhuo has been investigating Chen Cha for many years and has a good understanding of his character.
Just as Chen Cha has a high opinion of Ning Zhuo, Ning Zhuo also has a high opinion of Chen Cha.
"If there is no problem with the key link of Infernape, the next step is how to contact the Lava Fairy Palace."
The Lava Fairy Palace is hidden inside the Huoshi Mountain, concealed in the thick magma.
Ning Zhuo first had to reach the inside of Huoshi Mountain.
There is such a path. First, reach the top of Huoshi Mountain, start from the crater, and drill into the Red Flame Demon Molten Cave. Choose the correct path from the thousands of passages, and then keep going deeper, and you will reach the place where you can see the Lava Fairy Palace.
"But if problems occur in Lava Fairy Palace after I drill the hole for the first time, it would be too obvious."
"After all, I have never entered the Scarlet Flame Demon Cave in all these years. It is abrupt for me to suddenly enter the cave."
"I should find cover."
Thinking of this, the image of his great uncle Ning Ze emerged in Ning Zhuo's mind.
Suddenly, a plan came to mind.
